WHEN MOTHER OF DRAGONS TURNED JLO!
Emilia Clarke’s Emmy look was all about channelling Jennifer Lopez, who in turn sent love her way
American actor-singer Jennifer Lopez sent out love to Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, who had praised JLo on the purple carpet of the recently held Emmys, for her fashion game in her latest film Hustlers.
The 32-year-old Clarke, who was nominated for outstanding lead actress in a drama series, attended the award show on Sunday, where she gushed to Entertainment Tonight about Lopez’s character from Hustlers.
“I think that JLo in Hustlers is the greatest introduction of a character I have ever seen,” Clarke said. “I heckled in the cinema. I’m English, I don’t do that, but I did! So JLo is my inspiration for this evening. I plan on channelling her all night long,” the Me Before You (2016) star added.
And when Lopez, 50, got to know that the star had praised her fashion sense and even taken inspiration from her, she took to Instagram and expressed her own admiration for Emilia. “When the Mother of Dragons meets #Ramona. #dead #HustlersMovie I love u @emilia_clarke #daenerys,” she wrote.
Clarke was all about JLo at the Emmys. Prior to the show, she revealed on Instagram that her entire look was inspired by Lopez. “@emmys2019 WE BE ROLLLLLIN!@jlo just as heads up you have inspired this years lewk[?]” she captioned a selfie.
Clarke donned a deep blue gown featuring a plunging neckline and bowtie waist detail, for the night.
Last week, Lopez turned heads at a fashion show in Milan, Italy, as she walked the runway in a version of the iconic emerald green plunging outfit she wore at the 2000 Grammy red carpet.
